Today’s Word from God’s Word-Encourage

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Word from God’s Word is Encourage.

Encouragement offers comfort to someone in distress, courage for those paralyzed by fear, and strength for when another feels weak.

The Bible is filled with references to encouragement and highlights how important it is.

In Acts 11:23, Barnabas reached Antioch, and when he arrived and saw what the grace of God had done, he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts. A great number of people were brought to the Lord.

Who can you encourage today? We can make a lasting difference in someone’s life by following the example of Barnabas. First Thessalonians 5:11 says, “Encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.”

Discover how the word “Encourage” can have an impact on your life in the Year of God’s Word.
